Queen Camilla has opened up about her recent absence from royal duties, revealing that she has been recovering from a chest infection, which was a form of pneumonia. The 77-year-old royal stepped back from her busy schedule in early November to focus on her health and is now doing better, though she continues to experience mild post-viral fatigue.
During the state visit of the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his wife, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, Queen Camilla rejoined royal engagements at Buckingham Palace on December 3. While she skipped the traditional kickoff, she attended a luncheon and viewed objects with ties to Qatar alongside King Charles and the visiting dignitaries.
At the state banquet later that evening, Queen Camilla took on a reduced role, posing for photos but opting out of the receiving line to conserve her energy. She is expected to attend the farewell dinner and closing events on December 4.
This return marks a gradual comeback for Queen Camilla, who has prioritized her health while maintaining her royal commitments. Meanwhile, anticipation builds for the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations, with the guest list already generating interest!
